is_extension_array_dtype(arr_or_dtype) -> 'bool'

See the Use Guide <extending.extension-types> for more.

Notes

This checks whether an object implements the pandas extension array interface. In pandas, this includes:

Third-party libraries may implement arrays or types satisfying this interface as well.

Parameters

arr_or_dtype : object

For array-like input, the .dtype attribute will be extracted.

Returns

bool

Whether the :None:None:`arr_or_dtype` is an extension array type.

Check if an object is a pandas extension array type.

Examples

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> from pandas.api.types import is_extension_array_dtype
... arr = pd.Categorical(['a', 'b'])
... is_extension_array_dtype(arr) True
This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> is_extension_array_dtype(arr.dtype)
True
This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> arr = np.array(['a', 'b'])
... is_extension_array_dtype(arr.dtype) False

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
